Walk on the wide side

How to kill two autumnal trends with one clever buy? Cleverly combining a wide- leg fit with rebooted nineties styling, these cargo trousers could be your new go-to as we march into the new season. The large patch pockets add a utilitarian, yet stylish feel. Pair with a contrasting textured knitted jumper to keep things cosy on cooler mornings or lighten up with a classic T-shirt on balmier September days. Footnote: keep things interesting with a wedge-heel boot.

Borrow from the boys

The summer months might be drawing to a close, but that doesn't mean you have to dive straight into boots and knitwear. Discover a fresh, transitional way to wear wide-leg jeans by cuffing the hem and teaming with box-fresh white trainers for a laid-back, retro feel. Keep the proportions in check by half-tucking your boyfriend shirt: this gives your figure a bit of definition, whilst still channelling a relaxed, laid-back vibe.

Shift into neutral

Dressing in one tone from head to toe will give any outfit a stylishly pared-back feel, choose a shade anywhere in the spectrum from off-white to oatmeal for added brownie points. We love this chunky cable-knit sweater that pairs perfectly with our retro-inspired flared cords. The high-waisted design cleverly flatters curves whilst the boot-cut styling gives the illusion of endless legs. Slip on a pair of heeled boots for added height.
